facilities, and bettor than many towns
with much larger populations than wo
have. Laying to the west of our town
is some of the tlnest grain and fruit
lands in the county; to the north Is
land suitable for grain, hops, fruit and
vegetables; to the oouth and east is a
large stieteh of iintry suitable for
grain and stock raising. These lands
aro occupied by a thrifty, enterprising
class of farmers and stock raisers, some
of them owning large tracts of land
which they are willing to miUhli.u in
to smaller tracts to suit purchasers,
having learned from experience that
small farms with better cultivation
will give more favorable results. Leb

eight hunched, ueiug the second lr.rg

of Lebanon is well represented by an
enterprising cla; of business men. We
